In the past year a number of online video editing websites have popped up promising to offer a quick, fun and easy way to edit your video online. Today I’ll ask the question whether Online Video Editing is any good of whether you should stick to desktop based editing.

For the more technically inclined, online video editing seems at first like a bad idea. Editing video is one of the most processor intensive applications you can do on a computer, and trying to replicate that experience through a web browser seems like it would be an exercise in futility.

This article takes a closer look at what’s out there in this space, and whether you should give these online video editor sites a closer look.

Michael Pick recently wrote an in-depth review of The News Room concentrating on how you can use its news video feeds to make money on your website. Taking a closer look I found a few faults with The News Room’s payment structure.

1. As you can see in the picture above it says that you can earn $4 CPM rate for video feeds. CPM basically means “cost per 1000 impressions”. But does it mean that 1000 impressions of the video feed box (shown below) will earn you $4 or every 1000 views of an actual video, i.e users have to play a video for it to count towards the 1000 impressions.

In the past year or so, computer graphic cards have begun to sprout HMDI ports allowing you to connect your PC to a High Definition (HD) TV via HDMI cables.

I think it was the Sapphire Radeon X1600 Pro that was announced in March 2006 that was the first HDMI graphics card on the market.

While this probably does not mean much to anyone now as there is a lack of HD content available on the internet, we are slowly seeing this begin to change with more internet TV episodes beginning to stream in HD.

TVTonic, for example, has a library of vodcasts that can be watched on a media center PC, with many of them being available in HD and perfect for watching on a plasma television.
